INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
Configuration Software Required
The A8332 (Flex I/O Module) requires configuration before it may be used. This guide will cover two primary ways to achieve this. (Consult A8332 manual for third party software or hardware integration.)
- Obvius Configuration Console: The Obvius Configuration Console (OCC) is a software application designed to assist in the setup and commissioning of Obvius hardware products. The OCC software is available for free download at http://www.obvius.com/Products/Configuration_Console.
- Energy Monitoring Hub users may use the integrated web browser interface to set up and configure the A8332 (Flex I/O).
Modbus Address
Before the Flex I/O can be used, select a Modbus address for the Flex I/O.
This address must be unique among all Modbus devices in the system. The A8332
supports address 1 through 127.
Select an address, and set the DIP switches to match.
The sum of the value of the switches is the address. In the example to the
right, address 52 is set by placing switch 4, 16 and 32 to the on position.
Note: 4 + 16 + 32 = 52
Installation
- Connect the power supply to the input terminals on the A8332 module.
- Attach the RS485 +, – and shield wires to the A8332 module. Attach the other end of the RS485 line to the Modbus master device, such as an EMB Hub. Be careful to observe polarity on both ends of the RS485 connection. RS485 wiring runs should be limited to 4000 ft.
Adding Meters and Sensors
- Turn on the power supply. Confirm the green Alive LED is blinking about once per second. Disconnect the power supply.
- Verify that the device is recognized by LCC or the EMB Hub.
- Disconnect the power. Attach the pulse or analog input lines to the pulse terminals. Each input has a GND, Input#, and +24V terminal.
Powering up the Device
-
Reconnect power to the device. The green “Alive” LED should start to blink approximately once per second.
-
The yellow RS485 TX and RX LEDs will blink for local Modbus activity.
-
For each input, you MUST configure the input mode register. The mode register sets up the input for 4-20mA, 0-10V, pulse, or resistance type sensors. The default mode is “unconfigured”.
(Choose only one method below) -
On the EMB Hub device configuration page, select configure point. Pick the appropriate mode from the dropdown list. You will need to configure each pulse input with a Name, Engineering Unit, and Multiplier.
-
Using the Obvius Config Console software, select the A8332 from the list, and choose the input mode from the dropdown list. Be sure to click the “Save” button at the bottom of the page.
-
After configuring the input mode, the red input status LEDs will show information for each input
depending on the configured mode of the input. Input status LEDs are adjacent to the corresponding input screw terminals. -
For inputs configured for pulse, pulse-kyz, and status, the LED will turn on when the contact is closed.
-
For 4-20mA, 0-10V modes, the LED will show off-scale-high by blinking fast (2x second)
-
For 4-20mA and Resistance mode, the LED will show a broken wire alarm with a blink-blink-off pattern.
-
For unconfigured inputs, the LED will be off.
